Bringing more of my weird taste. I've been listening to Therion's new album and it has some interesting tracks, here's Hellequin

and

Sitra Atra

I'm a big lover of Therion, but their latest album is quite weird I think, some members left between this album and the last. The last two songs on the album have a massive mood whiplash - the second to last seems to hit on Therion's original sound, with the screeching death metal vocals and then the last track really slows down and mellows out.

In fact, here are the last two tracks:

I'm still getting used to the album really, it seems to have a really weird composition to it. I can swear in Hellequin I hear Sir Christopher Lee singing, but I can find no reference to him, though this reviewer seems to think the same thing. It wouldn't be unlike Christopher Lee either as he has done vocals for Rhapsody of Fire and has produced his own metal album, Charlemagne. If it's not him, whoever's singing has a very similar voice.

On which note, I must post Christopher Lee with Rhapsody of Fire, 'tis an awesome piece:

For me, the early seventies were an odd time (to say the least lol) Everybody a round me was either going down the road of hard drugs or they were settling and leaving the experiences of the late 60's behind like some imagined dream..... I was getting into this stuff...
